Twelve Reasons Why the Community Should Co-own the Seahawks

  1. Who cares about the Seattle Seahawks more than us?

  2. The fans are already invested in the Hawks, and we should have theright to call ourselves owners.

  3. The Green Bay Packers have demonstrated that community ownership not only works, but is widely celebrated.

  4. Community ownership makes it less likely the team will be forced to relocate.

  5. The public already invested $300 million in Lumen Field, for which the Seahawks are an essential anchor.

  6. Capital sourced from the community rather than a faceless private equity firm is better for the team and the economy.

  7. A community-owned team can strengthen our local economy and foster generational support for years to come.

  8. We can model a community-based economy at a time when economic ownership is highly concentrated in the hands of the ultra-wealthy who have too much power over the things we care about, like the Hawks.

  9. The Seahawks could create a new revenue model for the NFL that others could copy and benefit from.

  10. Shared resources and infrastructure help keep costs down for everyone.

  11. This will start a wave of fan-based ownership across the Pacific Northwest that could advance a community share in the Sonics, and beyond. 

  12. Why Hawk alone when we can all flock together?
